Woman's Work In The Civil War, L. Brockett MD, Zeigler, McCurdy & Co. With an introduction by Henry W. Illustrated with 16 Steel Engravings. This was published so soon after the war ended.

From a dedication; To the loyal women of America whose patriotic contributions, Toils and Sacrifices enable their sisters, whose history is here recorded to minister relief and consolation to our wounded and suffering heroes. And who by their devotion, their labors and their patient endurance of Privation and distress of body and spirit, when called to give up their beloved ones for the NATION'S DEFENSE, have won for themselves eternal honor and the undying remembrance of the patriots of all time we dedicate this volume. Some of the individuals described in the book are as follows; Miss Drothea L. Dix, who before the war worked with paupers, prisoners and the insane. Eliza Potter, Clara Harlowe Barton, Helen Louise Gilson, Mrs.

Margaret Elizabeth Breckinridge written by Mrs. Almira Fales, Cornelia Hancock, Mrs. Mary Morris Husband, The Hospital Transport Service, Other Labors of some of the members of the transport Corps. Katherine Prescott Wormeley, The Misses Woolsey, Anna Maaria Ross, Mrs. Davis, Mary J Safford, mrs.

Mary Dwight Pettes, Louisa Maertz, Mrs. Hariet Foote Haley By Mrs.

Mitchell, Jesse Home, Miss Vance and Miss Blackmar, and 66 more listings. Some are groups of women such as the The Women of Gettysburg, The loyal women of the South and the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon of Philadelphia and others. Some of the biographies are quite extensive and discuss the womens' lives before the war. The final chapter is the faithful but less conspicuous laborers.

Finally there is an index of names. There are the wonderful 16 engraved portraits and frontis illustration. Ex Library from Cornell University Library with a plate, a check out page and stamping including withdrawal stamp. Condition of text is very good.

And spine have separated from the text but are still attached as is the back cover. There is some old store receipt paper used as a liner visible. The spine has some surface missing from the bottom and there are library numbers in white on the spine. This has of course been digitized and is available on the interenet archive. But you can hold it in your hands!

I have some other titles listed relating to the civil war but not as old as this one. I pack carefully and use recycled materials when possible. I would be happy to answer any questions or send more photos. Please watch my auctions for other tools, especially woodworking items, paper, books, occasional bottles and who knows what else...

Thank you for looking at my store; Toby's Tools (and books).
